"I am strongly opposed to the plan for ICE to put a detention center in the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building in downtown Rochester. This proposal would turn a civic building - in the heart of our community - into a site of detention, fear, and division. It is absolutely wrong and will undermine public trust and the safety of our community. I will continue to stand with local leaders and Monroe County residents to reject this proposal and call on the Trump administration to reverse this decision."
